dont get me wrong, I love watching MMA and especially the UFC and Pride fights, but its at a different level
I agree... An 8 yr old is not mature enough to understand every right and wrong... He knows his room needs to be clean , the stove is hot , and the petty stuff , but being physically encouraged to fight hand to hand , if its ok at home , why wouldnt it be ok at school.... Rauls right though , a line can be drawn if proper parenting is involved...
